We've just bought a new apartment on the 2nd floor of a 7 storey block. It has underfloor (1950s) heating and we'd like to lay down engineered wood flooring. After much search I've realised that gluing down the floor is best but here in France there are many shops which state that I'd need to glue a layer of cork under the wood. They say that for the neighbors and possible future legal conflict it's necessary. Is this the case or can I just glue the wood straight onto the concrete floor? Also, is it really not advisable to float the floor? The cost of extra adhesive and cork will be significant - not to mention the extra work load!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
